§ MR. PENN (Lewisham)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether any Reports against the reduction of engine-room complements carried out in 1892 have been received at the Admiralty?
SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTHSome adverse Reports have been received, and they have been considered by a Committee, who do not in consequence propose any modification of the general principle in accordance with which these complements were framed.
